About Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus)

Kingdom: Animals
Phylum: Chordates
Class: Birds
Order: Pelicans
Family: Sandpipers and Allies

During the birds' breeding season, phalaropes are found around coastal pools, especially ones shallow enough to support plant growth, and with an abundance of insects. They also like areas with grasses and mosses surrounding open water. On migration they can occur on still waters of any size, though they are often seen on very small pools near the coast. During the winter they are found mainly at sea in warmer regions, often very far from land, where they feed on plankton rich upwellings.
